New to forums and Backtrack

[<<<wEbFrEaK>>>]

I have recently decided to check out Backtrack after a long time of hearing and reading about it.

I'm on VMWare right now, and I have to say, great job guys, this distro is amazing.

However, I have a very stupid question that I feel bad posting but,

How do I access my other hard drives from Backtrack?

Whoops, delete.

you should find what you are looking for in the /mnt/ folder...
or if you wanna browse through the disks in the GUI, start Konqueror and select the Storage Media link...

also try the man page for mount, in a shell do

#man mount

good luck

Thanks a ton guys. And yeah, I noticed my thread didn't show up, so I made a new one.

Then I checked my email and found out about the 3 day verification thing, sorry!

Your drives will most likely be formated NTFS. Therefore, look at the manual for NTFS-3G to learn how to properly mount the drive.

Also, in VMWare, you will only be able to see the drives set up to run in VMWare.

Yes, it is formatted NTFS.

I am new to VMWare also, how would I go about setting up my other hard drives to work?

when backtrack is not running, from the menu: VM -> Settings -> add -> hard disk -> Use a physical disk. Then all your hard disks will list in order they are attached to your system eg. drive0,drive1...
